The Roami Walking Aid Adjusts Between Flat Land, Stairs, and Slopes
References: katapultdesign.au
The Roami walking aid is designed to shift smoothly between flat ground, stairs, and slopes. Developed by Katapult with Mobilate, the lightweight frame balances stability and easy control on varied terrain. A cam lock clutch enables quick angle changes, while a safety lock stops unwanted movement at rest. Wheels deploy for surfaces that need rolling support, then retract to keep steps clear. A collapsible structure makes storage and travel simple without trading away strength.
Clear visual guides and intuitive controls reduce the learning curve, encouraging daily independence while keeping the form modern. Two style directions address different preferences. Roami emphasizes a classic look for traditional users, while Warrior adds a sport driven tone for those who want a bolder identity. The device adapts to changing needs across home, street, and transit, making it a practical upgrade over standard walkers that struggle with stairs and ramps. By pairing function with thoughtful styling, it turns mobility support into design confidence.
